AFRINIC Elections

AFRINIC holds several elections as part of its proceedings and organisational governance structure. We usually hold an election for:

The appointment of Board of Directors

The appointment of Co-Chairs of the Policy Development Working Groups

The appointment AFRINC region's representatives on the NRO Number Council (NRO-NC)

The appointment of community representative to the Governance Committee

The AFRINIC community is expected to play an active role in the running of the organisation and also on the global Internet resource community by nominating candidates and voting in various AFRINIC elections.

We strongly encourage members and the community in general to actively participate in the election process they are qualified to.

Governance Committee

The AFRINIC Governance Committee, called for by the Community will be constituted for the first time during the AFRINIC-25 Meeting.

Election for the Board takes place at the AFRINIC General Members' Meetings (AGMM) which usually takes place around May/June every year.

Number Resource Organization Number Council (NRO-NC)

The NRO-NC consists of representatives elected by the Regional Internet Community and/or appointed by the Regional Internet Registries. AFRINIC-elected members of the NRO Number Council also participate on the ICANN Address Supporting Organization Address Council (ASO-AC)
